The Old PlayStation Thread | *NEW THREAD IS UP*

[jetpacunlimited]

gamestop employees dont get a discount on systems. so i hope thats not why ur trying to work there. i hope ur just trying to guarantee one to urself in the backroom by actually working there then paying full retail price. is that the type of thing ur going for? first dibs? if so...brilliant.

From my experience as a Gamestop manager, and this was back in 05 when we were prepping for the X360 launch. No employee can allocate a system for themselves or friends, the reserve numbers and units received are STRONGLY monitored.

Cant get a pre order anywhere any more. What are my chance of getting 1 if I camp out at gamestop the night before?

That's what I was saying. When you get one(and I say "when"), it will NOT be until the reserves are taken care of. I reserved my PS3 and got a job there the same day(crazy situation), and I had to wait to get mine.

I just went to the GameStop that I preordered from & they confirmed they will be doing a midnight release for the PS4.

This won't be the case for every GameStop, so you guys should start to check yours.

Not excited to see the PSN crash that first night. I cant imagine they are ready for the server stress.

I always assumed that it's hard to be prepared for something like that. I feel like the initial wave will be rough, and they'll smooth it out in the first 3-4 days.

Not worth it then I'm not camping out for anything, I'll just wait till the second wave hits stores

I heard the PS4's PSN network will be a completely new infrastructure and seperate from the PS3's.

I think it'll be much better on the PS4. No point putting a share button on the controller if your system doesn't have enough bandwidth to handle some serious traffic.

Launch will be rough though.


Trophy Notification on PS4

I don't care about them, but the notification looks way cooler.

[COLOR=#red]Sony: PlayStation 4 Eye Camera Removed from Bundle Over Price[/COLOR]
SCE attempted to include the device at one point.
by Matt Clark OCTOBER 9, 2013
Back in June, IGN reported comments from multiple sources stating the Eye camera was left out of PlayStation 4 bundles in order to compete with the Xbox One on price. During an interview with Business Spectator (via Engadget), Sony confirmed the company tried to include the camera in the $400 bundle, but ultimately couldn't afford more loss.

"Certainly for the earlier part of the lifecycle, the vast majority of the audience that we speak to tells us that their primary wish is for the full controller interface and there's not necessarily a huge emphasis being placed on camera interaction," said Sony Computer Entertainment president Andrew House.

Undoubtedly, one of the biggest divisions between the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is price. Microsoft decided to push the Kinect as a packed-in piece of tech in its $500 Xbox One launch, while Sony's Masayasu Ito claims $400 is the "magic price" for the PlayStation 4. Sony's next-gen console is allegedly already selling at a $60 loss per unit.

The big question, of course, is how gamers and developers will respond to the fragmented install base of the new PlayStation Eye. While the Xbox One may cost $100 more, each unit will feature a Kinect, meaning early adopters may be more open to using the motion-sensing device in games. House reiterated the PlayStation Eye could show up in later bundles, but it still means the PlayStation 4 will launch with cool toys--like Playroom--many people won't have the ability to play.

Got an unexpected call from school today. It was the financial aid office telling me to come pick up my refund check I didnt think I qualified for. All I could think about was November 13. at my priorities. |I

If the ps eye was included with the ps4, I'd be in here talking about how gimmicky it is.

Kinect 2>ps eye

...from what I've seen.

And Here’s How Best Buy is Preparing to Receive the PlayStation 4



Just a few minutes ago we posted showing how Best Buy is preparing to receive the Xbox One, but what about the PlayStation 4? Are the aisles for Sony’s upcoming console being prepared as well?

Of course they are, and we can catch a glimpse on them thanks to a Best Buy Employee that posted a couple pictures on Reddit, as reported by Domino792 on NeoGaf.

You can see the pictures below. Which display do you prefer?

If you were to want one and can't camp out, i would pay someone to hold me a spot. Start camping wednesday night atleast.


Something tells me that ppl will camp for days in some spots.



For those who are looking to get one launch day but can't camp, i'm sure ppl on here could help with that. I'm in NY so if i see that a store has a small line or a store has a few left, i'll post the info on here.
